Hi from East London

[chykensa]

Back on topic (!), well done on kicking the tobacco habit, you'll get loads of support here, and more importantly advice on the best gear to buy depending on what you are looking for. What gear are you using at the moment?

 A BIG welcome to AAEC  osdset

Hello and osdset. Ooooh I love wood mods. I have got 4 of them - one of them was made by a member on here Guill for me.

Hi osdset a very warm from me too and gratz on stopping the stinkies.

Great to hear what might be in the pipeline regarding your offcuts of wood, I gather you are thinking about making mods with the hint of the electronics but if the offcuts are big enough and if you have the know-how have you thought about making mod stands?

Phoenixflame (Julie) has this one.

Welcome osdset,
Check out: allaboute-cigarettes.proboards.com/board/33/vapefest-uk-meet-ups for the GLV(greater London vapers) meets, next is probably 14th June. Lots of homemade mods to be viewed.
You may also be interested in Hackspace, a shared workshop on Hackney Road. A growing number of mod makers there and some acoustic instrument makers. Check out my post here about open day:

Hi seniorphil,
Thanks for the Hackspace link, first I'd heard of them! I'll check them out, might even join.

Knew you 2 would get on when I read OP!

Thanks, I wouldn't say I've kicked the habit yet but I've tried everything from throat sprays to Champix and nothing has worked, vaping is the nearest I've got so far to the 'real thing'.
I'm using a basic Ego setup at the moment but I've discovered that the battery hasn't got enough oomph for my level of use and 11 mg nicotine content juice isn't hitting the spot.

What I finally end up using will be dictated largely by portability, I like a lot of the mechanical mods but I can't see myself strutting around with a stainless steel cosh in my back pocket. However aesthetics play a big part for me, I won't own or use anything that looks tacky. I really like the look of those stainless Ego bases where the battery and atty sit side by side, but battery capacity becomes an issue again.

I'll definitely be making a lot of my own kit, I've worked on electric guitars for many years and I also repair valve amplifiers so the electronics side of vaping technology is straightforward as far as I'm concerned. Winding atomiser coils isn't so different from winding guitar pickup coils, there's just a few thousand less turns to worry about!

Funny you should say that, I'm right on the border of the Gate of the Forest, close to the Old Spotted Dog.

Yep, the sort of thing I'm thinking about. I dunno about bottom feeders though!

Hi,
Yes I've thought about stands, I might make one or two.
